Concept: In statement-assumption questions, an assumption is implicit only if it is a necessary, unstated presupposition without which the statement would not make sense — not a broad generalisation that goes beyond what the statement says, and not merely something consistent with it.

Application: Here A advises B on the route to take to reach Jammu, describing the Amritsar route as the shortest one.

• Assumption I — B wishes to go to Jammu: for route-advice about reaching a destination to make sense at all, the person receiving it must already intend to reach that destination. This is a necessary precondition, so it is implicit.

• Assumption II — A gives advice to everybody: the statement describes one instance of A advising B; nothing about A's general habit of advising other people is needed for this specific piece of advice to be meaningful, so this goes beyond what is implicit — it is an unwarranted generalisation.

Cross-check: If B had no wish to reach Jammu, A's advice about the route to Jammu would be pointless — confirming that this presupposition must hold. The statement stays fully coherent regardless of whether A also advises other people in general, confirming that presupposition is not required.
